My M1T cycle

[zed]

i have read many people got a cold/ flu like symptoms when coming off m1t or at the tail end of a stack. it also happened to me but i upped my vitamin c intake with natural foods plus vitamins and it slowed it down a bit. Your strength lose is almost surely a combo of the both if that makes sense. Your immune system is down plus you are omiting the m1t so naturally you are weaker. Alot of people have had sucess with adding creatine at the begining of pct even if it is a small amout once a day before your workout. This could help you with the negative feeling you may have with strength drops during your workout. Also a energy stimulant whether caffeine or whatever you prefer helps to keep you motivated and feeling good for your workouts. Your gains actually look very good especially since you took m1t without 4ad.

Thanks for that post, you just reminded me that I have been forgetting to take my multi for the past week and a half, lol...As for the creatine, I have been taking that for almost a year now anyway. I'll look into an energy stimulant of some kind.

FRIDAY: Abs/Calves

Seated Calf Raises: 8x5 plates+5, 8x5 plates+5, 8x5 plates+10, 7x5 plates+15

Cable Crunches: 12x60, 12x60, 8x65

Some Ab Machine: 12x50, 12x55, 11x55

Nothing special today, I still felt like crap because of the cold. Weight today was 219.

[SpecialK117]

Still feeling sick today. Tried taking sudafed and afrin, neither seemed to do much good.

Try picking up some Zicam, that stuff works great for me. It doesn't get rid of the symptoms but I am over my cold in 1-2 days.

[SpecialK117]

OK, so it looks like I lost a ton of mass in my legs, wtf? They look even smaller than they did long before I even started the M1T cycle, yet my legs are still stronger than at that point, wtf?

MONDAY: Shoulders and Traps

Seated Military Press: 6x175, 2x180

DB Side Raises: 8x30, 7x30

Rear Delt Raises: 8x45, 8x45

Shrugs: 6x295, 6x295, 6x295

Last Week's Numbers:

Seated Military Press: 6x170, 5x175

DB Side Raises: 8x30, 6x35

Rear Delt Raises: 8x45, 8x45

Shrugs: 6x295, 6x295, 5x295

Argh, I don't know what happened today. I had no recovery ability on military press. Normally when I get 6 reps on the 1st set I can get 4 with an additional 5 lbs on the next set. Here I was lucky to get 2 reps. I hope this is just because of my cold. I felt better today, but not really good. Weight was 217.5, although I feel a lot smaller for some reason.

TUESDAY: Legs

Squats: 5x285 (ATF), 6x285 (parallel), 3x285 (parallel)

BB Lunges: 6x135, 6x135

Ham Curls: 8x160, 6x160

Today was just as bad as yesterday. I could tell after the first set of squats there was no way I would be able to keep doing ATF with 285 on there, so I did just to parallel from then on. Even still, I actually failed on the 4th rep of the 3rd set. What is going on here? Am I going to lose everything I gained on the M1T, or is this just the cold taking effect? Weight is still holding at 218. Motivation to train is also down, although I'm really trying to do the best I can when I get in the gym.

WEDNESDAY: Back/Bis

Deadlift: 6x345, 6x350

Barbell Rows: 6x210, 4x215

Pullups: 8xBW, 6xBW

Barbell Curls: 6x125, 4x130

DB Curls: 6x65, 4x65

Some good numbers today, I guess I'm not losing all my strength. Weight today was 217.

True.
That happened to me on my 3rd m1t/4ad cycle... then again on a test e and tren cycle. It totally sucked. :\

THURSDAY: Chest/Tris

Bench: 6x265, 4x270

Incline: 5x225, 4x225 (barely)

Dips: 6xBW+75, 6xBW+75

Close Grip Bench: 6x195, 5x200

Close Grip Bench: 5x200, 4x200

Vgrip Tri Pressdowns: 8x100, 7x100

I lost some more strength today, although not nearly as much as last week. Oh well. At least I seem to be keeping the mass. I hope I don't lose any more strength, because I was just barely able to squeeze out those reps on bench and incline today.... Weight is holding at 217.

FRIDAY: Abs/Calves

Seated Calf Raises: 8x5 plates+10, 8x5 plates+10, 7x5 plates+15, 6x5 plates+15

Cable Crunches: 12x60, 12x50, 12x55

I also did some crunches on a decline bench. The decline was so steep that my bodyweight alone was enough for a few challenging sets. I dropped weight on cable crunches because I think when I was using 60, I was bending at the waist instead of using my abs to crunch down. Weight was still 217.

Today was a disaster. How much more strength am I going to lose? I regret ever doing this M1T cycle. Motivation is really low, too. I need to take a week off but I'm afraid that if I do, I will just lose everything I gained. Weight was 218.

Can anyone tell me why I keep losing strength? I'm keeping cals high (5k-5200, 30% protein, 50% carbs, 20% fats) and taking nolva for PCT, yet I continue to lose strength on bench, incline, military press, and squats. What's going on?

[SpecialK117]

Once again, a drop in strength but not in size. I don't know what the hell is going on here. How much more strength am I going to lose? The squats felt slow and in control though. Weight was 217.5. I am reducing cals down to 4800/day for this week. I will keep subtracting 200/day every week until I start to lose this stomach fat.

[cable626]

wow, I've been reading your posts.
How's it going now?

[SpecialK117]

This will be the last post I make in this cycle log. Strength seems to have stabilized. I recently caught another cold, although I don't know if it's because of the M1t or not. Overall gains were probably better than what I could've accomplished naturally during that time, but I really wasn't that impressed with M1T. I finished my 4 week PCT last friday. I'm not sure if my natural test is back to normal or not, I suppose I should have some bloodwork done if I do another cycle. I have 1 and a half bottles of this stuff left but I don't know if I will ever use it.
